every country has different catalysts though

eg Lombardy has a significant Chinese workforce that went back to China over the Christmas shutdown then came back into the workforce before the Chinese NY, so it may have been 'seeded' earlier and more extensively than (say) here.

Each country has different factors and traits that make their populations more/less prone to rapid infection, more/less willing to obey Govt guidelines, so at this stage I'm not sure the comparative graphs say much about whose approach is the best.

We may not even know for another 2-3 flu 'seasons' how well China/Japan/Korea have actually coped with it.
